According to the Tennessee Department of Safety, there are roughly 4.5 million licensed drivers in the state of Tennessee. In addition, a significant number of tractor-trailers and out-of-state travelers use Tennessee roadways because of the number of interstates throughout the State including I-65, I-24, I-75, I-40, I-55, I-26, I-81 and many others.

Unfortunately, some of those drivers are careless. Whether they are texting while driving, eating or simply not paying attention, their carelessness can cause accidents. In addition, impaired drivers, excessive speed and fatigued drivers, including truckers who are over their service hours, also contribute to crashes.

According to the State's data, from 2012 to 2016, Humphreys County ranked 50th in overall crash rate. The county's crash rate for fatal crashes was a surprising 12th. For injury crashes, the county also ranked 30th. In the separate category of motorcycle crashes, Humphreys county ranked 23rd. The County had an alcohol-impaired fatality rate of 20th and an alcohol-impaired crash rate of 51st. The speeding crash rate was 60th in the State. The crash rate for young drivers (age 15 to 24) in Humphreys County was 58th. For senior drivers (age 65+), the crash rate was 59th. These crash statistics and others can be found here.

We Can Help You And Your Family

If you or someone you love has been injured by someone's carelessness, you are generally entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, etc. In order to obtain this compensation, you typically must make a claim with the other driver's insurance carrier or your own if you also need to pursue an underinsured motorist claim. Usually, the insurance companies demand proof of your losses so you must furnish them with your medical bills, medical records, property damage appraisals, lost wage statements, etc.

Without the help of an experienced lawyer, this can be an exhausting and confusing process. Instead of trying to do it yourself, let our experienced team of lawyers do the work for you and be your advocate to the insurance companies. We will help you get the maximum recovery possible from all potential sources while you concentrate on getting better and putting your life back together. We have recovered over a $140 million dollars for our satisfied clients and we can help you too.

Will I Have To Go To Court?

Of course, we try to resolve cases as quickly as possible and without the necessity of filing suit. We understand most people do not want to go to court. We also understand you need the money quickly to help pay medical bills, property damage, loss of income, etc. Sometimes however, the responsible party contests liability or contests the amount of your losses. In those situations, a lawsuit must be filed in order to protect your rights. For more information on what to expect if we take your case, click here.
